Ride Saturday morning.

The view from Blaauberg after our ride. Going in to Cape Town was very hard nice wind in our face. Comming back was fun double the speed and no effort. Lovely day going to Haskell for a long table. Did ride 5 times this week. Lots of people on the walk and cycle lane. This is one of the best investments that Cape Town has done. It is used on every day of the week.

The ship is nearly cut up.

Wine tasting at Rheebokskkof.

Friday night racing back from Citrusdal to go and attend wine tasting at Rheebokskloof. Attending a blind tasting of Chenin Blanc and Shiraz from Paarl Wellington. We unfortunately arrived late but our host welcomed us and seated us next to her and her partner. Really been rushed to taste the Chenins and was really cold in the marquee. Then the Shirazes arrived some really good ones, not that the Chenins was not good I was just to cold coming from Citrusdal. Lovely evening and lovely wines, worth the drive. Well done.
